Look in that thread and there are plenty of people who ask "how will youtube keep the servers up without ads though?" with reasonable responses such as: torrent-esque video sharing people donating to creators and youtube taking a cut or reasonable issues like: ads cause me a lot of stress and I am not wealthy, does this mean I can never watch a video again? Or read an article or see any online content? Not wanting to support billion dollar megacorps

Getting responded to in kind by 1 guy is not a toxic community, everywhere I've seen people ask a question in a normal way 99% of the time they get normal responses

Yes, because calling me a racist Holocaust denier, and having those comments upvoted is very non toxic.

It takes other users to upvote those comments.
